Yes, I Know What You Think Of Me You Never Shut Up...

So I finally went out and got Tori Amos' greatest hits CD and was listening to it. It has 20 tracks and a DVD! Even though I already own all the songs, the cool thing is that she actually went in and re-mastered each song and added orchestras and such which has made me very happy... :) there are also 3 new songs on there which are killer. I was listening to it the other day and rediscovered "Silent All These Years"... man, what a GREAT SONG! Click here if you have RealPlayer to watch the video. Sit yourself in a dead quiet room, turn the song on to a moderate level, and close your eyes...I guarantee tears will begin to well up in your eyes! Even though this song has many general meaning as well as specific meanings, I've been humming one line to myself all day and it's been hitting me everytime...

"I know what you think of me you never shut up...I don't care, sometimes, I said sometimes I hear my voice and it's been here...silent all these years..."

Those words just make you not worry about things as much and move on...something I definately need to do...I find myself getting easily frustrated with the Urban D guys (mostly Josh) because no one wants to understand how it is to be in my shoes sitting in a control room staring at a computer screen for hours while someone else is whining about how their guitar tone is messed up after I told them it would be an hour ago. I'm trying to learn to be more patient, but I also pray Josh understands that if my job is to edit and mix and his is to play guitar, then we both stick to our guns to get the job done instead of stepping into each others' territory and making a bigger mess of things rather than art. I think after working with the guys from Derrty Entertainment, he saw how things ran professionally and I was reminded that there were people out there that understand.

I got an e-mail from my long lost former roomie, Adam, last night...for those of you who don't know, Adam and his brother (also my roomie) disappeared one morning in February (moved out I guess without telling me where and why) and I haven't heard from them since. I guess me and Adam are going to work on rebuilding our friendship and come to an understanding of that situation...because I was very confused by it...Adam's been my roomie here at school for 2 years and my closest friend ever since I came here.

I'm trying to find a way back to Indy this weekend to A.) Visit my parents. B.) Visit my friends. and C.) Pick up my new car. But we'll see how that will work, I'm also trying to convince Josh to go to Texas sometime soon so I can ride down with and visit Elizabeth...that will be cool, I miss that girl...she's always been the one I never had to explain myself to...I was me and she got it...amazing...great things are in store for that girl...

Anyway, it is way too late...time for bed...
Soli Deo Gloria,
